busy days.....

Hello all

Apologies for not writing but as usual its been busy! More teams visiting and lots of casual visitors too, on top of that more weddings, and of course my regular day job!! By the way, the car is here in Mzuzu and has been registered and hopefully tomorrow will be ready to drive - more details next time!!

For those of you who know Rev Binnie Mwakasungula, you will enjoy the next couple of photos as his eldest son was married last week. Here are Butwa on Linda on their happy day - a very handsome couple!!

for those of you who have been here...

Last week I was in Lilongwe at an Early Childhood Symposium which was great fun, especially as I had the privilege of travelling with one of the traditional chiefs, who kept me entertained. I learnt a lot more about the culture in Mzimba! After our workshop, I was sitting in the car waiting while my travelling companions were shopping, and this was the view in Lilongwe!

We stopped at our usual market to buy tomatoes and onions more cheaply than in Mzuzu.

As I said in an earlier blog Nicolas was in London - he has arrived back safely and full of stories! He was given a gift to buy a bicycle for his work as a trainer and here you can see the new bicycle! Thanks to everyone who looked after him, who fed him, who showed him round - I hope you enjoyed the time as much as he did!

I had a lovely surprise visit one morning at 6am. A couple of my old friends from Zomba arrived - Rev Chafulumira and his wife. It was great to see them - we had breakfast together and it was great to catch up after a long time.

and lastly for today........Sarah and Natalie, two medical students passed through Mzuzu last night and stayed over on their way home via a few other countries. Was great to have them and here you can see Nicolas helping them to carry their bags to get the bus north (how they will manage with a 20kg weight limit when they go home, I don't know!!

Looking forward to the Moderator from PCI arriving with me on Thursday so next week installment will be really exciting........

Have a great week.

Blessings,
